Maybe I'm confused, but enlighten me please...
Are you saying no(in cree) because of the name of the knife?
I have several fixed blades named "Indian Hunter" that I bought from makers on my family Rez.

Are you guys insinuating something?
 
Not insinuating anything. It just immediately struck me when I first saw the knife that there are (at least) a couple of ways that etching can be read. I would not be able to answer the inevitable question that might be asked by anyone else who might see it (as evidenced by the last few posts), so I passed on it, simple as that.

Those are good looking knives in all other aspects, and I really like the pattern. I’ve had the yellow rose version in my pocket since I got it six weeks ago.
 
I was assuming it describes a native American hunting, like the etching on the older Case Canoe knives. But if I think about, I can also see a kind of abiguity in it.:confused:
 
I guess it depends on whether you're a glass half empty or glass half full kinda person....

Well my brother in law was down at the pow wow there and brought me a turquoise belt buckle, I had asked him to see about knives and he said that they looked like they were made over seas,one was called a buffalo skinner and he had a chuckle with the Arizona band members about how many buffalo were in Arizona,and was told not all things at the trading post were local, but if they make knives good to hear.
 
I've been a knife collector for purd near 40 years and have seen lots of knives called "Indian Hunter ". I never once thought it was meant for hunting Indians. I took it as an homage to the great hunting skills of Natives, but that could just be my take. I'm not walking around looking to be offended.

He's right about a lot of junk at the trading post, but there are times when people set up that you get the good stuff. If you go on the rez and know people, you get better stuff. It's all about who you know and if they trust you.

This would have been a great reply back in post #377. Maybe just start with that the next time the question is asked. This thread didn’t have to go the way it did for the last 15 posts.
 
I can understand the reason merging the Canoe pattern to Native practices and making a line of knives from that idea however I’m curious what the significance is between the “Indian Hunter” moniker and a cigar pattern pocket knife. It doesn’t really make much sense to me and I’m with the others, I wasn’t buying a knife with that specific name splashed across the blade.
